2 teaspoons jalapeno chillies chopped
1 clove garlic, sliced very thinly.
2 spring onions, chopped finely.
tbsp fresh rosemary

Salt & pepper to taste

The doing bit:

First cut the tomatoes in half and place on a baking tray. On each tomato half add 1 slice of garlic and a blade of rosemary, and a few drops of the red wine vinegar and a sprinlking of salt. Place the tomatoes in a warm oven 9/about 170C) for about 40 mins until they begin to shrink and caramelise slightly. remove fromt he oven and allow to cool.

IN a mixing bowl combine remaining ingredients, allowing the tomatoes to break up (dont be shy). Taste the mixture ans season accordingly. For extra sweetness add a tablespoon of honey of maple syrup.

Enjoy.
